Hydro:

India is endowed with the hydroelectric potential of about 150,000 MW. However, only 17% of the hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so far; with another 5% under various stages of development. Countries like Norway, Canada and Brazil have all been utilizing more than 30 percent of their hydro potential; while on the other hand India and China have lagged far behind. Private participation in the hydro sector will be important to meet the target of an additional 45,000 MW of hydro capacity within the next ten years. 

Various policy measures are being contemplated which seek to address issues such as mitigating geological risks, resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected persons through Public Private Partnership initiatives and incentives for performance. The Government of India has also under taken several initiatives to increase the share of hydel energy in the overall energy mix and the Prime Minister’s 50,000 MW Hydro-electric initiative is one of the major steps undertaken by the Ministry of Power in this regard.
